I have 2 raccoons - brother and sister, both "fixed" We've had them since before their eyes opened. They are about 8 months. Last week Jimmie started peeing blood and acting like he had a bladder infection. We almost lost him. After a large vet bill, they finally concluded that he is a bleeder. Now he has to take vitamin K tablets (which he doesn't like. The little stinker has figured out everything I have tried putting it in. Tonight I'm trying a marshmallow.) and cherry flavored steroid. Not an easy task to give him either. Does anyone else have a raccoon that is a bleeder? and what do you do for them. The sister is fine. Also, any advice on giving medicine would be super helpful too. Thank you!!

"bleeder" is not a proper diagnosis. If he is K deficient you can get it in injectable form or try giving it naturally like mixing thyme in his food or powdered spinach. But if it's an auto-immune issue or something else K probably wont help but it wont hurt either.

Our vet had some bitter medicine one of my kids needed to take awhile back and they sent it out to an apothecary tomake a palatable compound? TamanduaGirl will know what I'm trying to describe. All I can remember is how ungodly expensive it was
